Can this pad be frozen for use as a cold pack?

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

Yup, it's great all around. One could even put it on their head & tie under chin!!! Love it!!

I have not tried it but the directions say that it can. It's made like those used in PT.

Never tried - the thing broke so quickly that I didn't even have time to consider alternate uses.

Not long. If you want an ice pad try this: CoolDog Reusable Ice Mat for Keeping Dogs Cool in SummerI have purchased 6 my Golden loves it to be cold when he sleeps. Good luck on the quest.

I have not tried it like that, but I don't see why not, as long as you didn't fill it to full, and it didn't freeze to the bottom of your freezer. I am using mine right now, as I have a frozen shoulder, but I have ice in it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It is a really nice bag.

The pack comes with great instructions. You can freeze or just refrigerate the pack. If you freeze it you can take it out well before you use it and let it thaw a bit. What you do depends on the requirements of your Meds. I doubt that it will freeze your meds. Get a cheap thermometer and check the temps after freezing and is if it gets to cold for your meds. I use it for insulin and haven't had any issues.

COLD YES. UNSURE ABOUT HEAT AS MADE OUT OF A POLY PLASTIC. I WOULD NOT. Does not mean you can not.

If you keep your cold packs on the frig and not the freezer you won't have any freezing problem. I have immunology serums that I keep for a trip that involves an overnight stay and the serums are still cool when I'' able to put them back in my frig.

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

That is correct - this pad is not thermostatically controlled and, generally speaking, should not be used in above-freezing conditions. I solved that issue by adding a thermostat to the circuit. My pad now comes on and off around 25 degrees to keep my battery warm when it's cold but doesn't cook it when the weather is nice.

Gee, I don't know. Maybe if placed on a dense sleeping bag pad. I haven't had any problems with my pads but I think that since there are ventilation holes (tiny) that it might not hold up with a lot of handling.

Myself, I froze on this sleeping Pad. I also bought an insulated one (around $166), but I still froze. I Returned Insulated one, because I still Froze with it. Now I just use a foam pad because with the air sleeping pads - I freeze (could be just me).

No. It is not designed for freezing. Also the metal locking parts may become very brittle. Try a softer plastic designed for freezing.

Absolutely you can freeze the filled pouches. My friend would make big batches that we would split and freeze. When defrosting you have two options - number one - when traveling you can just let it slowly defrost or defrost in a hot water bath then use the spout to feed baby, option two - at home we would cut the top off of the pouch empty it into a bowl and defrost contents in the microwave. Love this product! (Consider using the spoon attachment when traveling - so convenient)

yes, just be sure to a hoy pad or some such to remove the lid after, and don't set it down on anything cold

I never tried freezing it because of how hard the actual nipple part was. I would say yes, you would be able to freeze it; however, its already hard enough. The rubber is pretty thick. Hope this answers your question.

Don't know. The bag is made of a flexible rubber, and so perhaps filling it 1/2 or 2/3 and then freezing it might work. If I wanted to do it, then I probably would experiment with freezing only a little water in in the beginning in case something goes wrong, and then increase the amount if successful. But no idea how long term, repeated freezing would affect it.

I don't know if it won't freeze but I ordered mine in Jan and its been cold here. It arrived fine. You can ask the company. They're great about helping.
